{My new "nephew" Michael & I. I did not want to give him back...or share!}

The first weekend of summer has been pretty great. Library trips, workbooks, the last soccer game of the season, evening marshmallow roasting and an outdoor movie...

shopping at the mall with my middle girlie, a new behavior modification system (i.e. system with no yelling) that actually seems to be working, brunch with these amazing ladies...

reading with the boy (we kickoff the Gumball Challenge today), getting hooked on the Tiny Tower app with the boy (can anyone recommend something similar for the DS so he gets off Matt's ipad?), and meeting the awesome baby Michael!

It was a pretty great (extended) weekend...busy, but laid back too. I think that is what our entire summer needs to be like...more "go with the flow" fun. So we have a punch list of things to do...outings, simple crafts, kid creation, outside fun that we will pull from as we see fit and I'll be blogging less too (I'm thinking 3 days a week tops, but it might be less). I love summer and all the fun, treats, and adventure that comes with it too!
